Frequency of Celiac Disease in Adult Patients Presenting with IronDeficiency Anemia
1 iron deficiency anemia (IDA).One is iron deficiency anemia, which can be the early and the first symptom of celiac disease.The prevalence of IDA is higher in developing countries and its prevalence is increasing and the condition is very common in clinical practice.It happens when the body lacks the needed iron to formulate hemoglobin which is an oxygen-carrying 2 protein in red blood cells.The condition can stem from poor diet, chronic blood loss or coeliac disease where the body has a reduced ability to absorb iron.Because celiac disease impairs the small bowel's capacity to absorb nutrients and Vitamin B12, it is among the more common though often undiagnosed causes of iron deficiency anemia.In celiac disease, injury to the small intestinal villi by the immune system leads to a decrease in the area for the 3 absorption of nutrients including iron.This malabsorption, if uncorrected, renders patients with iron deficiency anemia despite receiving iron, possibly causing fatigability, and an altered cognitive
